The National Transportation Safety Board recently divulged that they had for
the past five years
covertly funded a project with US auto makers whereby the auto makers
installed black boxes in
four wheel drive pickup trucks in an effort to determine, in fatal
accidents, the circumstances in the
last 15 seconds before the crash. They were surprised to find in 44 of the
50 states that the last
words of drivers in 61.2 percent of fatal crashes were, "Oh, Shit!" Only
the states of West Virginia,
Georgia, Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, Texas, and Tennessee were
different, where over 89.3
percent of the final words were: "Hold my beer and watch this."
